WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Youzhny: "I'm very happy. When you
win a tournament, it doesn't matter how you've played or
who you beat. My last title was at the start of last
year in Zagreb, so it's been quite long. I'm trying
everything to try and play more consistently at a high
level.

"When you see the score, it looks easy,
but it wasn't. It was only one break in each set and I
didn't have many chances to break him again. The last
game on my serve was also very close."

Haase: "I didn’t feel well last weekend
and had some problems with my knee which was pretty
swollen. And now I’m here as the runner-up and that’s
great. I think that the altitude fits my game and that I
can handle it well. It’s tough to play against Mikhail.
He’s a great player and I never beat him.”

Murray: "It's been good. We've been
playing a few months now, working hard together to try
and get the team as good as we can. We've had some good
results and we'll keep trying to go for the future."

Peers: "I thought it was a lot of fun.
The balls bounce a bit higher, it's a bit more lively.
We handled it well."
